Biking the Huts

The Velo is a road biking trip unlike any other we have, and can accommodate riders who want to travel on roadways, while still having provisions upon their arrival. The days of this trip are long, and the Velo rider must be prepared for the intensity of uphill riding while maintaining endurance for the distance of the first day's ride (64 miles).

Our two new huts located in the Surveyors Ridge are of the Mt Hood National Forest provide options to suit whatever kind of biking you enjoy. We have mapped out a variety of routes that range from short touring rides to as much world-class singletrack as you can pedal.
